Just a quick question. 8670 and 8670m steels are really difficult to get hold of in the UK, and given the ridiculous tarif trade war, I'm not even going to touch American goods until the debacle is over. Are there any non-USA based suppliers of these two steels?

Re: GFS Knife supply, I got my 8670m from you, it's brilliant stuff. I just wish I could get more of it from you. I've even used an offcut of 2.3mm to make a big belt buckle for a kilt belt. Are you going to supply any more?Carbon Steel | GFS Knife Supplies
